In the Oracle's house, a heavy discussion of how much time is truly needed for Rex to be able to obtain the pieces was under way.
Even with everyone trying to be even optimistic. Most of them were not and honestly wanted Rex to just ascend.
"Even if I wanted to, this Quest was bestowed unto me after leaving the Soul Temple. Something about the Quest does not sit right with me.
The first part is that it was bestowed unto me after leaving the Soul Temple. That means either only Soul Qi can affect whatever is sealed or someone within the Soul Temple will have to fight it. By having a good relationship with one of them will cause the Quest to be activated." Rex explained.
The women all looked at each other. His words true but knew the female trainer was the one who he was referring to. Even with that, something now did not sit right with them.
"If having a good relationship with one of them is the key. Why did this Quest appear? How long as the being been sealed away for? My final question is that, if there is only one being what can we do to it now after years of being sealed and being able to fight through that seal where we do not know anything about it." Lilith asked.
Even Rex could not answer those. He did not know what was there nor did he know how to properly adjust the Quest to be suitable for him.
"I know you all probably do not want me to go. I need to be able to get a clear mindset before the timer starts tomorrow. I will head there and set up a tent. Do not worry, your husband is truly going to be ready to go all out." Rex told them.
They were upset to say the least. They knew that this was going to be the answer. Rex hugged each of them. He made sure to give them a kiss and headed out.
Once he was outside the city, he used everything to quickly get to the area. He noticed something special. The area was filled with deadly poison. He had to navigate through it to be able to safely reach the edge of the marshlands.
He did not remember any poison being mentioned in the Eighth Realm. Now was for sure that this Quest being activated was no small thing. As he turned around, he could have sworn a fox head was there gazing upon his body and vanished.
He blinked and it was gone. He did not know what to do nor what the creature was. He knew that he was on the right path.
As he headed upwards, he felt the creature seemingly heading towards his back. Rex was for sure once the creature was just a tiny bit closer. He could either fight it or capture the sorry beast. He appeared alongside the edge of the marshlands.
He quickly setup his tent and prepared a fire. He had a tiny amount of meat left and he used it to fill his stomach for the night. Even though the poison did not affect him. He was for sure that nothing would stop the next wave once it came down to it.
